Lemon harvest did not decrease in the country - Turkish suppliers
Turkey
Wednesday 21 November 2007
To the opinion of the source, almost twofold growth of prices for lemon in Turkey is mostly predetermined by the decreased lemon production in Spain and Italy (according to the estimations of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" weekly, lemon production 2007 declined 25-35% in these countries). So, this season Turkish companies supply lemons even to Italy.
However, other Turkish suppliers - the interviewees of the experts of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" disagree. According to the estimations of some of them, the reduction of the production was rather significant; most exporters reduced the supplied volumes 30-40%.
According to Saygin Eroglu, at the present moment Turkish suppliers work with the lemons of Interdonaton variety; the supplies of this variety will be over approximately by the end of year. Afterwards, the lemons of Lamas variety will be supplied from January till almost mid summer. The quality of lemons of Turkish origin is somewhat lower than past year, mostly because of the reduced average size of the fruit.
